MIA and Back

Wow, I didn’t even realise how long I haven’t blogged. Time passed so quickly, I’m already at my 4th week of clinicals. It’s amazing. =) The faster the merrier, I wanna have my holidays like the rest of the NUS people.

And now I don’t know where to begin… 

Maybe from the most recent?

The staircase where me and Bro used to play on when we were kids. We loved running up and down and walking on the elevated red step at the side =)))

As the name suggests, the whole restaurant actually revolves, bringing us scenes of the PSA, Mount Faber and Sentosa. As if to celebrate my Dad’s birthday, there were fireworks from Sentosa at the moment our view was directly in front of it. =)))

It was a memorable moment for us. =)

We then made our way to the Resort World @ Sentosa for a look! It was our first time there after the official opening, so it was quite an eye-opener. We are planning to go back for “Air Supply” concert on 20th June! Dad first introduced this oldie band to us when we were 13 or 14. =)

Semester Results

It was just average with Bs and Cs, at least I improved, and that’s something to be happy about. =)) I don’t really place grades above all, so with this lack of motivation and attitude, I don’t expect a lot out of it.

There’re other things I place more value in of which I demand more out of myself…

Asia Conference

Since clinicals, I haven’t been going to church regularly due to time clashes and to be able to back for Asia Conference, experiencing the presence and love of God so mightily, was such an overwhelming experience for me. Something I won’t trade anything for.

Happy to sit with Alice!!! =))) We knew each other in secondary school and grew up in church together, so we’ve seen many sides of each other! =Pp

Sunday sunrise over the expressway to EXPO for orchestra cum choir performance. It was my privilege to be able to perform in the presence of many great leaders and broadcasted to millions around the world. Sometimes I feel I don’t deserve it, but thank God =))

On the finale night with my best friends of a decade =))) Despite all.

It was an awesome 3 days of being refreshed spiritually, emotionally, physically and psychologically. Best of all, it is smacked in the middle of my clinicals when I most needed it =)))

However, a day after the end of AC, news broke forth that our church is involved in some monetary issues. It is actually the hottest topic in the media right now. Actually I’m quite nonchalant about it in the objective point of view, like what’s new?

However, it saddens me too and I actually can’t bring myself to read the news reports. I didn’t read the previous news involving my conductor and his wife too. For I know too well that local news are often so well garnished, you can’t taste the main ingredient.

Whatever it is, I know I won’t be the person I am now if I hadn’t set foot into it a decade ago. I remember sitting alone in my first service there, being scared and all cos I couldn’t contact my bestie. I actually cried.  -_- I remember me as a girl, with nothing much in my hands, no dreams to work towards, and still figuring out this new phase of life as a young teenager.

But since that first service, I have never left my church and it was the best decision I’ve made in my whole life to know God and be led by Him. Never did I know that God has so much in store for me. Though I haven’t done a lot or have come very far, where I am now is something I could never imagine myself at a decade ago.

And I wanna thank my church leaders for guiding me through my spiritual walk with God, for their consistent boldness and faith in God, for always encouraging us to pray and love God even more than yesterday.
